Im fed up with cheap chinese junk canoes, and last time I went to the SMKW I couldn't find many canoe pattern knives to pick from. The few that were there were either similar junk as to what I have had and broke, or were display quality knives fancied up to a point of being gaudy. I bought a Chinese Buck a few years ago for my dad and his has developed a bit of scale rattle, so it will soon fail. All of my knives have broken either by weakened springs or by broken scales. Case XX had no canoe knives (last i looked) aside from the display pieces. Call me crazy but I just don't see the point in paying $100 bucks for a $40 knife with "pretty" grips that clearly aren't durable and aren't meant for use.
